There’s going to be days when you don’t think you can make it and all you want to do is give up. But those are the days that make you strong, brave, and special. Everything you need to accomplish your goals is already inside of you, but you have to reach for it every single day.

During my freshman year, I heard the saying, “Life is about relationships; the rest is just details.” I was determined to view the world from that mindset during my college career. Though I didn’t always succeed in living with that mindset, I ultimately found it to be true. To past, present, and future University of Arkansas students: the absolute best thing you can do with your life is to love and serve other people. Give your knowledge, skills, experiences, time, talents, and everything you have for the good of others. It is truly more worthwhile to give than to receive.
